Inland Fisheries Ireland operates in accordance with its 5 year corporate plan approved by its Board and published on its website. Each year an annual business plan flowing from the corporate plan is prepared covering all the activities of the organisation. Each annual business plan is an incremental step towards delivering on the key objectives set out in the corporate plan. In accordance with its statutory remit, the priorities within the organisation are to conserve, protect and develop the fishery resource. Staff and other resources are utilised in as strategic a manner as possible in order to achieve the best return on investment for the fisheries service. This policy is followed in all River Basin Districts including the Western River Basin District.
I have arranged that should the Deputy have a specific query in relation to the Western River Basin District, the Director of the Western River Basin District can be contacted directly to deal with the matter. The contact number for his office in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, is 071 9851435.
